I bet it's just one of the prompt injections that lots of AI models exists nowadays. There are some of them that we don't realize yet. The safety and alignment problem is getting more and more important as model capability increases.

I've been in a similar situation. I worked for almost 10 years, left my last job about a year ago, and have been learning all on my own and arranging my life according to my own wishes. I found myself very afraid of getting into the job hunt and taking interviews — so much so that, until now, I couldn't even send out my very first application.

I also realized one of my biggest problems, which adds to my anxiety: doing things without evaluation or feedback. When that's missing, the whole cycle of working toward a goal breaks down. Again, I think the main reason is that I'm afraid of challenges and afraid of failure.

I've been practicing breaking down my goals and making sure I hear outside voices and get feedback, so I can adjust my next steps in time instead of soaking in one thing for too long and "pretending" to be focused. I made a vow that I won't go out to play my favorite sport until I send out my first application this week — a small step. As of today, my actual progress is still behind the weekly goal I set at the beginning of the week. But I'm firm that I can't make any more excuses; I have to take that first small step each time, as a way of telling myself what my true priority is.

The worst case is that I fail every interview and no company wants me. But then I'll at least know where I stand and what I should improve to become a stronger candidate.

Come on, my friend — let's work it out.

Thanks, it's an interesting use case.
